AGV K6 - $479.95

It’s now possible to get your hands on a quality AGV helmet for less than $500. The Italian manufacturer introduced the street-oriented K6 full-face helmet. Thanks to its carbon-aramid shell, the K6 weighs in at a tiny 2.76lb which makes it one of the lightest helmets available on the market. Five air intakes located at the front of the helmet converge into a single exhaust vent at the back, forcing my air circulation inside the shell. The visor is lined with an anti-fogging material.

Arai Regent-X - $549,95

Arai introduced the Regent-X by comparing its level of protection with the track-oriented (and much more expensive) Arai Corsair-X’s. The manufacturer achieved a higher level of protection thanks to the development of a new material, dubbed PB-CLC, that’s both resistant and lightweight. The new design opens up the helmet at the neck to make it easier to put on and take off. To maximize airflow, the shell features three openings at the front, one at the back, paired with two air curtains and an air duct at the neck. The removable liner also features cutouts to receive a comm system.

Touratech Aventuro Traveller - $649

This full-fledge adventure helmet comes with a number of really interesting features. Of course, the main one is that it’s modular. The chin-piece locks into place when open which means the rider has the option to ride with the helmet open. When the chin piece is down, the visor can be opened in four different positions with the lowest one meant to double as a defogger. The company also claims the helmet provides excellent airflow thanks to the massive air intake at the front of the lid. The company says the air circulation is so efficient that the intake vent has a “low-flow” setting to reduce the amount of air that gets in when it gets too cold. While it doesn’t provide a specific number, Touratech also claims the helmet is one of the lightest modulars available on the market.
